"New Zealand is already one of our most important trading partners, with annual exports valued at over $100 million," she said.
"The trade mission will further identify opportunities [...] for our future economic growth including advanced manufacturing, defence, food, agribusiness, energy, tourism, and of course our world-class primary industries."
Kristy Booth-Lark from Killara Distillery said the trip would be a great opportunity to expand her business overseas.
"I'm looking to link up with people that I can do business with here and export my products over to NZ and share the products I make with international consumers," she said.
The trip is an initiative of the New Zealand Integrated Trade Strategy, which Ms Palmer said was key to meeting federal government's overall international trade target of $15 billion by 2050.
